Vermintide 2 Hotfix 6.11.1 - 25th of May Patch Notes (25th May 2026)
Fatshark drops a small but focused hotfix for Vermintide 2, cleaning up weapon bugs from last week's balance patch and addressing a crash that required getting punched by a Chaos Warrior exactly ten times.
Three days after the 6.11.0 weapon balance update, Fatshark is back with a quick follow-up. Hotfix 6.11.1 landed today and it's mostly cleanup, but some of it matters if you've been running Elven Axe or War Pick builds.
The War Pick heavy attack fix is the one to know about. A bug introduced in 6.11.0 was actually suppressing crit damage against Armoured enemies on both charged and uncharged heavies, so the buff Fatshark intended to ship never landed properly. This patch fixes that and also corrects the Elven Axe's Push Attack damage and restores the ability for 1H Axe and Elven Axe to proc "On Charged Attack Hit" talents, which had quietly broken. The Griffonfoot also loses an unintended ammo buff that slipped through. Fatshark has acknowledged community concerns about the Longbow changes from 6.11.0 but says more testing is needed before they commit to a fix.
I'll give Fatshark credit for the patch note transparency here: a dev note flagging the Longbow situation directly is exactly the kind of communication that keeps players from feeling ignored. Full patch notes below.
